STOMPer Menaloy thinks that although this young Mensa member is talented, he needs to learn more about humility.
At only primary one, George Yeo, with an IQ of 130, is one of the youngest members in Mensa Singapore. His IQ exceeds about 98 percent of his peers.

"According to the New Paper printed on 29 April 2012, this boy has exceptionally high IQ and is very bright
"However at only four years old, he told his parents not to waste money going to school as he already knows everything."
Just last year, George's K2 teacher told his parents that he was not paying attention in class and he was getting bored because he already knew everything that was being taught.
When George was 10 months, he could already recognise letters and at 21 months, he could count up to 20 and read from A-Z. At three years old, he could already read whereas other children were still learning their numbers and letters.
The Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) student handles fractions with ease and his favourite subject is alegebra.
Apparently, George is also a bit of a flirt. His father says whenever they enter a lift with a young lady, he would talk to her but ignore older aunties. He even told a reporter 'Saranghaeyo', which means 'I love you' in Korean.

"When asked about why he joined MENSA (an organisation for high IQ) he replied 'because he had high IQ'
"This kid is definitely bright and talented, and he knows it
